GREAT MYSTERIOUS FIRE.

New YORK, Aug. 9.-The Worlds
London correspondent says regard
tho mysterious destruction of White
ley's great establishment. The fire is
remarkable mainly on account of the
mystery connected with it. In the first
place Whitley is pioneer tradesman
who has revolutionized entirely the
methods of doing business in London.
From small shop keeper in 1862, he
has advanced to the position, the head
fthc entire retail merchants of Europe
He has established in London mon
ster building and sells everything
known to any trade. His great stores
take in the wares of the butcher, bak-
er, druggist, icwelry, hardware and
in fact every thing sold in any shop in
London. His custom amounts to
millions of pounds annually, Of course
he has thereby injured greatly the
trade Of every small dealer in London.
By buying in such enormous quanti-
ties he is practically able to control
the prices of every staple. His loss at
this fire IS 100000. 1t is his fifth
disastrous fire within as many years.
Watchmen are ON guard yet
at regular intervals and in spite of
every precaution fires break out.
That they are the work Of an incen-
Diary is certain. The fire of Saturday
broke out in twenty different places.
Mr.. Whitley has been shunned by the
insurance companies for many years,
he cannot obtain insurance at any
price. He has to bear the gigantic
loss alone. lie has offered thousands
of pounds to discover his enemies, but
as yet without avail. 1t is believed
that from the trades men of London,
who have been injured by his great
success, have come the means for
inflicting upon him such terrible loss
es. This fire has also demonstrated
the utter inadequacy Of the London
fire brigade. 1t called out the entire
fire force and occupied it for twelve
hours.
1t any fire had broken out in any
other direction at the same time the
fire brigade could not have attended
to it. London to-day is in a condition
nearly as dangerous as when the great
fire of the seventeeth century broke
out. There has been long drought
the water is very low and the engines
are not up to the standard.

that the Dr. McGlynn combination is

DAVENPORT, Iowa, Aug. GA plot
to wreck the Council Bluffs, Chicago
east bound train on the.Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific road was discovered
near Iowa City yesterday, and when
the train approached the long bridge
over the Iowa river, the engineer OBJ
served a slight displacement of the
rail three lengths west of the bridge
aud promptly showing in the throttle
and putting on the air brakes, came to
a full stop before the engine touched
the suspicious looking rail. On inves-
tigation he discovered that the spikes
had been pulled from three rails and
the fish plates cf the two nearest the
bridge removed, The would be
wreckcrs had displaced one of the rails
sufficiently to betray their prot, and
thus the awful tragedy they intended
was avcrted. Had the locomotive
struck these rails it would have gone
right the river chasm and made a
plunge. The would be wrcckers are
unknown.

Veterans Legion of Pittsburg came

along one curb for the column. The
Legion, 250 strong, struck bee.line
down the center of the street, the Off

they passed under the Cleveland BAN
ner with upright tlag-stafls many of
their members took off their hats and
saluted.
1t seemed in moment as if pande-
monium had let loose, and while the
G.. A. II. men and their friends filled

Democrats cheered until they were
hoarse, while threats Of violence were
freely exchanged. However the column

GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT,
Commander-in- Chief
OF OUR ARMY AND NAVY.

The appearance Of the banner Great
ed some feeling among the G. A. r.
men when it was first placed in posi-
ton, and this was deepened by an ar
ticle in the Pittsburg Dispatch, which
referred to the fire-eating qualities of
Editor Taney, and his willingness to
see his entire Office wrecked before he
would remove the banner. The ar
ticle further stated that a few of the
hot-headed members of the G. A. r.
men had expressed a determination
Of tearing the banner down, or, In
The event of its remaining up, they
would refuse to march under it.
This article created great excite
ment among the G. A. r. men of
Pittsburg, who seem to have formed
the opinion. that the flying of the flag
was in some measure an insult to them
and when about 200 veterans boarded
the cars in that city at 8 o'clock, there
was deep seated conviction that
something should be done to show
the firmness of the great military or
der to which they belonged. Arriv-
ing in Wheeling this feeling became
very prevalent among the other sold
iers, and it was decided that the big
banner should be lodged.
When the head of the first division,
composed of Pennsylvania veterans,
reached the Register Office, Post No.
Al, which led the advance, went
squarely under the flag. The sue
cecding posts, however, crowded into
the gutter to avoid passing under the
banner, and either dropped their COL
ors or trailed them along the ground
as they went by. AS organization
after organization went by in this
manner the excitement among the
vast throng of spectators became in
tense. and cheers and groans were al
ternately given as the hated banner
was passed.
During halt caused by the great
length of the column the actions of
some of the Pittsburg men became
more marked, and curses and epithets
were hurled at the picture.
Meanwhile news of what was going
on was spread far and wide, and soon
the Democrats in that portion of the
city began to make their way to tn
scene. The street was soon blockaded
with an excited mass, and things be-
gan to wear serious aspect. Demo-
sratio members of the G.. A. r. began
70 tear off their badges and leave the
'anks, while many officers of the
marching posts hurried to and fro,
lrging their men over to the side Of
he street and commanding the Gags

The excitement reached its height
